At: The Boys and Girls Club , 230 West Sixth Street South Boston, MA 02127

We are trying to gauge interest in having Joanne Peterson, founder of Learn 2 Copestart a meeting here in South Boston.

We are asking anybody who is interested in becoming a Learn2Cope facilitator to attend the next Hope & Recovery Coalition meeting on February 20th 5pm at the South Boston Health Center – the coalition is serving only as a connector to Joanne. Once Joanne has trained community members on the format of the meeting she turns them over to the community facilitators. It should be made clear that the Learn 2 Cope has no affiliation withthe Hope & Recovery Coalition it is a standalone 501 C 3 organization.

Please come join us at the Walsh Center, 535 East Broadway on Wed. January 15 at 5:45pm for a free viewing of “The Anonymous People”.

This powerful documentary aims ”to change the addiction conversation from problems to SOLUTIONS. An independent feature documentary about the over 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions.”

Light refreshments will be available, and this event is free and open to the public. We would love to see you there!!
